Answer:

Natural selection

Explanation:

Natural selection occurs when one allele (or combination of alleles of different genes) makes an organism more or less fit, that it is able to survive and reproduce in a given environment. If an allele reduces fitness, its frequency will tend to drop from one generation to the next.

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is "strengths: inexpensive, easy to culture, short life cycle, large number of offspring; weaknesses: invertebrate model, some diseases such as immunological cannot be modelled, anatomical features are very different from humans"

Explanation:

The fruit fly <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em> is one of the most used animal model for genetic and biomedical studies. There are many advantages of using Drosophila as model, including that it is very inexpensive to handle, it is easy to culture, it has a short life cycle allowing to observe the changes in phenotype very quickly and its large number of offspring allows to include several repetitions per trait in a study. However, there are some weaknesses of using Drosophila to study human biology. First, obviously the fruit fly is very different from humans, it is an invertebrate and its anatomical features are very different, which makes impossible to model some disorders such as immunological diseases.

melomori [17]
<h2>e) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

Traveler's diarrhea is an intestinal infection that occurs as a result of eating or drinking contaminated food or water, food handlers who do not wash their hands after they use the bathroom can transmit the infection to people who consume the contaminated food

Due to diarrhea, kidney don't work properly and level of urea increases in blood

Due to the low carbohydrate intake, ketosis occurs in which stored fat is metabolized which results in build up of acids called ketones

If the body starts to use energy sources other than carbohydrates then it means it is using the stored energy, gluconeogenesis fulfills glucose requirement of cell by synthesis of glucose from non carbohydrate material

To supply with energy lipid metabolism occurs, fatty acids are oxidized and energy in the form of ATP is produced
